SEPIA345: a dual polarization 2SB cartridge receiver for APEX telescope: Design and Performance
Paper in proceeding, 2023
A new receiver channel covering the 271-377 GHz
frequency band has been installed into the SEPIA receiver at
the APEX telescope. The receiver channel was designed and
built in an ALMA-compatible cartridge layout. The receiver
has a dual polarization layout with OMT and employs 2SB SIS
mixers featuring an extended 4-12 GHz IF band, providing 32
GHz instantaneous IF bandwidth for two polarizations and two
sidebands.
